Bath time
A cooling shower for Joseph (and me 😂) he’s a funny boy . ❤️
Helpful boy !
It’s always good to have a confident dog to show the others what to do in new situations . Badgers doing his very best to help the girls out , they got the hang of it eventually!
First bareback ride on star . So happy with this mares progress . Bareback riding has so many benefits . It develops a balanced , independent seat , but aside from that and equally important , it develops trust and a real connection to your horse , not just physically but mentally too .
If you’re interested in finding a deeper connection , working on building trust and that feeling of freedom with your horse PM me . All abilities(horse or rider ) catered for .

Alsways nice when she provides the soundtrack 😂
I often get some funny looks when I meet folk on my pack walk . Most people are interested to know about the dogs and how I get them to walk together nicely . The truthful answer is that it took time and patience. I didn’t just get up one morning and decide to take 6 dogs out together . The pack grew over time and the numbers increased only as and when the existing group had a solid foundation .believe it or not I drew on my experience of driving horses and applied the theory to the dog pack . It worked very well once I’d got my knitting organised and I now have a very solid little gang . I just need a skate board to complete the mad dog lady look !
It’s hard in winter to keep the horses entertained , but Mother Nature provided some enrichment last night ! Joseph was overjoyed , he loves splashing and he certainly made the most of the mud ! For a horse who hates puddles , Star was surprisingly confident with her first encounter of the field being flooded . Shelly of course is way too sensible to get cold and wet and is just cross the grass supply is now halved . At least their legs will be clean when they come in this afternoon !
Life is all about timing ! Thought I’d sneak out between downpours …. I thought wrong 🤣
